Step 3: Stuff the Bread
- Gently pull apart the slices of bread to create small pockets.
- Drizzle the garlic butter evenly into every cut, making sure each crevice is coated.
- Sprinkle the cheeses generously between the cuts, starting with mozzarella, then cheddar, and finishing with Parmesan.
- If you like a little kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes between the layers.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Wrap the loaf loosely in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Tip: For an extra-crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve warm and watch as everyone happily pulls apart gooey, cheesy pieces straight from the loaf.
Extra Tips for the Ultimate Experience
- Cheese variety: Mix in provolone, Monterey Jack, or fontina for a richer flavor.
- Add-ins: Insert cooked bacon bits, caramelized onions, or fresh herbs for extra depth.
- Storage: Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes.
